On October 29, at the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), Pol. Lt. Col. Wisanu Chimtrakul, Deputy Director-General of the DSI, revealed after the meeting to hear the facts and evidence of the ICON Group case that the evidence presented by the Consumer Protection Police Division investigators to the meeting of the Special Case Screening Committee, the meeting unanimously resolved that the ICON case falls under the elements of the Emergency Decree on Fraudulent Loans to the Public or Ponzi Scheme. This afternoon (October 29, 2024), it will be submitted to the Director-General of the DSI to sign and accept it as a special case. Pol. Lt. Col. Wisanu stated that from the consideration of the fraudulent plan, business plan, and financial statements, it is similar to the offense of a Ponzi Scheme. After the resolution to accept it as a special case, there was no recounting, but instead counted from nine. The DSI is working closely with the police.

And will invite experts in all fields to join as advisors for the special case, analyze the financial path, elements of tax payment, and prove intent, divided into both main and accomplices after the investigation and additional charges. The detention period will be extended from 4 deposits as charged by the police to 7 deposits, which the DSI is confident will be able to handle in time. The pyramid scheme case will be investigated separately from the money laundering case, which was previously a special case. Pol. Lt. Col. Wisanu added that for the second batch of suspects, the financial trail will tell who the beneficiaries are and who the accomplices are. A plan will be made to analyze the financial trail and examine the facts on a case-by-case basis. At present, we are beginning to see the direction of the suspects’ defense. We confirm that we will be fair to all parties. The reporter asked about the evidence, which is gold-like jewelry and brand-name watches that have been suspected of being fake. The deputy director-general of the DSI stated that whether the evidence is real or fake, it is beneficial to the investigation. If it is real, the advantage is that the victims will be able to get more of their assets back. However, if it is fake, it will be seized as evidence and it is assumed that the collection of fake watches may have been done to stage a scene to deceive the public. Pol. Maj. Gen. Suwat Saengnum, deputy commissioner-general of the Central Investigation Bureau, said that during the first 5 days of urgent police investigation, the investigation team found evidence of interference with witnesses and attempts to escape. Therefore, they were arrested for fraud first. After questioning more than 8,000 accusers, collecting evidence and witnesses, and questioning the suspects, it was concluded that it was an emergency decree on fraudulent borrowing of money from the public, which is a special case according to the Special Case Investigation Act, i.e., there are more than 300 victims and damages of 100 million baht or more. The submission of the case file is in accordance with the law, not shifting the burden to the DSI. It is the submission of all evidence, not starting over.
